Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi announced that Zimbabwe has begun formally amending statutory levies and fees across multiple economic sectors. The government seeks to transform recent policy announcements into legally binding instruments through parliamentary procedures. Current statutory charges remain enforceable until official amendments occur through established legal channels. The Attorney-General's office collaborates with relevant ministries to draft necessary legislation. This process supports broader efforts to enhance Zimbabwe's investment climate and business environment.

Recent policy changes target agriculture, transport, retail licensing, and local authority services with significant fee reductions. Parking penalties dropped by half while vehicle number plate costs decreased from five hundred to fifty dollars. Agricultural businesses previously required dozens of permits across multiple agencies, creating administrative burdens and high costs. The Agriculture Marketing Authority now charges a flat one-dollar registration fee for all farm categories. These reforms advance President Mnangagwa's Vision 2030 development blueprint for upper-middle-income status while supporting constitutional obligations to improve socio-economic conditions.
